Peace Through Music 2026: You've Got a Friend

Peace Through Music 2026 Benefit Concert gathers students, families, and neighbors to celebrate the power of music to build bridges of peace, love and understanding and to help bring about social change and nonviolent solutions to issues within our community, our country and our world 🎶.

This year's concert--our 16th annual--is themed, "You've Got a Friend," and will feature songs that speak of friendship, support, solidarity, partnership and LOVE! From Ain't no Mountain High Enough to Reach Out I'll Be There to Time After Time to You've Got a Friend in Me, our cast will be sharing music to uplift, inspire and enliven you, and you will certainly want to sing--and dance--along!

Our amazing Guest Artists include Antonio Lopez, Emilce Giacomini, Janis Kelly, Lisa Bell, Nelio Zamorano and Pedro Silva, plus vocal groups Standley Lake HS Chamber Choir, PTM Mass Choir and our co-hosts for the evening, Spirit Voices, backed up by our all-star rhythm section: Chris Carvalho on guitar, Craig Schwartz on piano, Jon Stubbs on bass and Larry Thompson on drums!

We'll also be joined by a number of non-profit organizations that are "thinking globally and acting locally," including Boulder MUSE; Boulder Rotary; Women Powering Change; and YOUnify, sharing exciting information about their programs and initiatives and inviting you to get involved.

By purchasing tickets and attending our 16th annual benefit concert in honor of the Season for Nonviolence, you help Boulder MUSE offer high-quality musical instruction to under-resourced youth across Boulder County and support us in our mission of creating peace through music!
